Expelled from
home, a toddler came to
the Valley with his
family. He grew up
there.
He witnessed war.
He witnessed ruins.
He witnessed
reconstruction.
‘Every building is
emptied of its
inhabitants.
Then, every façade is
veiled – hidden.
Each building is emptied
of its entrails. it is a
patient in an operating
room or the dead body in
Rembrandt’s anatomy
lecture.
all the components are
expelled through
barrels, as though from
stomachs. Next, the
veiled façade disappears
for good.
